[QUOTE="Chrypt22"] Example: there is a very high demand for Database programmers / Administrators so much so that companies are in sourcing people TO the US from OTHER countries because there isn't enough graduates to fill the jobs. Â Jagged3dge
That isn't exactly true. Â Companies would actually rather hire people to come from outside the U.S. so that they can pay them less. Â American employees are a lot more expensive. Â
My Dad, for example, needed a programmer for his new website. Â He's paying a guy over in India to do the job, because the American programmer is charging $30/hr while the guy in India is charging half of that.
And in doing so he's removing money from the local economy. That guy in India will spend his money in india, where as if your Dad had paid someone local to do it, that local person could then go to a local store and pass on the money to some other local guy. Keeping the money within the area. Less locals with money = less business for local stores.
